22. Connect the SAS signal cables to the connectors on the SAS controller:
a. Connect the shorter SAS signal cable that comes with the option kit to the
SAS controller connector that is labeled “Ports 7-4”. If you are connecting
cables to a ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA Controller, this connector is
closest to the edge of the controller and has two straight connectors.
Note: If you are connecting the shorter SAS signal cable to a
ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA Controller, the connectors are reversed. You
must connect the shorter SAS signal cable to the connector that is labeled
“Port 4–7”, which is the connector that is not the closest to the edge of the
controller.

b. Connect the straight connector end of the longer SAS signal cable to the
other SAS connector that is labeled “Ports 3-0” on a ServeRAID-MR10i
SAS/SAS Controller. This cable has a right-angle connector and a straight
connector.
Note: If you are connecting the longer SAS signal cable to a
ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA Controller, the connectors are reversed. You
must connect the straight connector end of the longer SAS signal cable to
the connector that is labeled “Port 0–3”.
23. Remove the PCI riser-card assembly (see “Removing a PCI riser-card
assembly” on page 44).
24. Orient the SAS controller so that the connectors are on the underside of the
controller. Install the SAS controller in the connector on the PCI riser card.
(See the previous illustration and see “Installing a PCI adapter” on page 51.)
25. Install the PCI riser-card assembly in the server (see “Installing a PCI
riser-card assembly” on page 45).
26. Connect the free end of the remote battery cable to the battery on the remote
battery tray. For more information, see “Installing a ServeRAID SAS controller
battery on the remote battery tray” on page 96.
